    In Islam, the belief that ringing in the ears is a sign of a good or bad omen has no basis. The teachings of Islam are that Muslims should trust Allah and avoid these types of superstitions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared belief in evil omens to be false and considered it a form of polytheism.

    If someone experiences ringing in their ears or similar occurrences, they should not interpret it as a sign to proceed or refrain from their plans.

    Instead, Muslims are encouraged to recite the following Dua:

    Allahumma la yuti bil-hasanat illa anta wa la yadfa as-sayiat illa anta, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa bika

    Only trust in Allah and superstition have no place in Islamic teachings.

    Using haram money in Islam is strictly prohibited, but if someone unintentionally ends up with or spends such money for a charitable cause, it may not be considered haram itself. However, Muslims should not expect rewards in the hereafter for using haram money in this way.

    In Islam, the act of giving to charity, known as sadaqah or zakat, is rooted in sincerity and good intentions. Money obtained through unlawful means like interest (riba), gambling, theft, or any forbidden source is viewed as impure and unacceptable for charity. Even though giving such money to charity might be an attempt to cleanse ill-gotten wealth, it may not be regarded as a virtuous act in Islamic teachings.

    Islam encourages Muslims to donate to charity from their lawful and halal (permissible) earnings. This reflects genuine intentions to assist others and earn the reward of generosity from Allah. Donating haram income to charity may not be accepted by Allah. It is generally more advisable for individuals to repent for their wrongdoing and seek forgiveness for any unlawful earnings.

    It’s important to acknowledge that scholars may hold varying opinions on this issue, and specific circumstances can impact the acceptability of such donations. In cases involving haram money and charity, individuals are advised to seek guidance from knowledgeable religious authorities or scholars for proper guidance.
